ole schnikees: 2018

Tova: gets up on her hands and knees by herself now and rocks back & forth, smiles all the time, screeches so loud, can sit pretty well but still tips over after a while, eats a baby food lunch and supper,

Tuesday was Trevor's first day of school, ever!! in the morning, we went for a walk & trevor biked over 2 miles and played at a park. after an early lunch, we got ready a bit early and played outside while we waited for his bus. he got on the bus at 1226 and just had a tiny moment where he didn't want to go, right before the bus got there. but he got right on, turned to wave to me and Al, and was off. I had wanted to follow the bus to the school but couldn't cuz I had to feed tova. after I fed tova, I cried for a while because I missed trevor and it was so weird that he wasn't here with me and wasn't somewhere I could just call and see what he was doing. I kept myself busy the whole time he was gone while Al played with Tova. I also had a chiropractor appointment. then I went to pick Trevor up at 410 and I was so happy to see him. he had a great day!! he was all red faced and sweaty from playing at the playground and said he'd made a new friend but couldn't remember his name. :) as soon as we were out the door, he said "I get to go back tomorrow!" that night at home, he said multiple times in one form or another something like, "Tova, you need to settle down when we're talking" so I knew right away that was what he'd heard from his teachers. :) sounds about right for my boy!

Wednesday was the first day that all the kids went to trevor's school so he got to sit by Easton on the bus! he had fun again and was red faced, sweaty again and had black marks all over his face (I think it was from playing with the ground on the playground and then wiping his sweat.) he again had a great day and said he found Easton and kourtlyn on the playground! his friends names are Maddox, Jackson and jasper, I think; he says one of those names when you ask him. :) I missed him again but not as bad, didn't cry, but did still stay busy to keep my mind off it. Al was off wed & Thursday and frank came over Wednesday night and went to wing Wednesday with us at the airport. trevor loves frank and colored with him, sat with him, chatted with him, etc.

Thursday morning I took my consignment stuff to the sale finally! then came home to help get trevor on the bus. after tova woke up and I fed her, Al, Tova and I went garage saling for a bit, then Al helped grandpa peter out before I went to get trevor from school. that night, I met Jodi at the consignment sale because we could shop early; there was SO much stuff for sale and a bunch of people shopping, but we found some good deals.

Friday the kids and I just stayed home as it was super hot out as was saturday. Saturday morning we played until Al started getting ready for work at 2, then the kids and I headed up to the cities. Saturday night we just played at nana's house with nana and unc-o.

sunday morning, we played at mom's and it was super hot again. the Vikings played the packers at noon so trevor watched a movie during the first part of the game. I had softball at 3 & 4 so mom stayed home with the kids since it was so hot. I was SO hot at softball!! but I hit great and we won both. then I went back to mom's, showered, fed tova, packed up and drove home.

Monday morning was laundry, playing games, crafting and then a little lunch before getting trevor on the bus. then I worked downstairs on some of my to do list that I've been waiting for trevor to be in school to do. I picked up trevor from school and we went to pick up ours and Jodi's consignment checks and stuff. I wasn't as successful this sale and got a lot of clothes back, but still made $368! that paid for trevor's new carseat I got him and what I spent at the sale on Thursday night. brohmer came to visit; he arrived while trevor was at school so trevor spent most of the evening playing with him. tova was pretty cranky most of the day and only napped 45 minutes each time so she had an early bath and bedtime.
